One person has been killed and at least one other hurt as two explosions rocked the centre of the Swedish capital, Stockholm, reports say. A car blew up near the busy shopping street of Drottninggatan, and another explosion hit nearby shortly afterwards, AP quoted police as saying. A man's body was discovered after the second blast, the agency reported. Swedish Aftonbladet newspaper showed images of a burning white car. The cause of the blasts is not yet known. Rescue services spokesman Roger Sverndal said the car which exploded had contained gas canisters, AP reported. A former AP worker, Gabriel Gabiro, was close to the second blast. "I saw some people crying, perhaps from the shock," he told the agency. "There was a man lying on the ground with blood coming out in the area of his belly, and with his personal belongings scattered around him."

Six bombs and a rucksack of nails?? If the guy had six bombs on his person that seems to suggest premature detonation??
which may also explain why he’s the only one dead??
If so, that’s good news — surely he was aiming to inflict maximum carnage on innocent people.
Listened to the early radio news, here in snowy Stockholm: So far the police and other authorities do not divulge anything. "The explosions could be related. we don't rule anything out." And nothing from our leading politicians, except from our FM Carl Bildt, who twittered about "an attempted suicide bombing". He has now made himself unavailable and does not answer any questions according to his press-secreteray.
However, in the meantime the bloggers and the netizens have been active. The name, and personal history, of the (by now very likely) perp is available.
As I posted up-thread his name is:
Taimour Abdulwahab, 28 years old - born on the 12 December, 1981 (What a birthday.....)
He is an immigrant from Iraq. Arrived in Sweden 1992. Studied for some time in the UK. Spent time in Jordan last summer. (Note that in the Jihadi audio-file the man asks forgiveness from his family because he lied to them, when he told them he was looking for work while in the Mid-East lately. Instead he went there for "training".)
His Facebook account is full of links to religious sites. Has listed as favourites "Islamic Caliphate State" and the al Qaida-ideologue Sheikh Abu Muhammad al Maqdisi.
According to the blogger Gudmundson he also links to film clips from Muslim war zones: Chechnya, Iraq, etc, etc.
Gudmundson also found that he was active on the Muslim contact site, looking for a second wife:
"I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. We moved to Sweden in 1992. I moved to UK 2001 to study. I have Bacholar degree in physical therapy. Iam married sence 2004 and have 2 girls. One is 3.6 and the second is 1.6 years old. I want to get married again, and would like to have a BIG family. My wife agreed to this. Iam looking for a practecing muslim, sunni, love children and wants to please Allah before me. Ecenomically, am ok. I cant say am rich, but alhamdolillah not poor. When I have extra money I give for the needy. Which aswell is importat that you not going to mind that.
In the future, am looking for to move to a arabic country and settle down there...

"Looking for a practecing girl, to join a lovely family and make it bigger. Looking for someone to accept the deen of Allah as it is and dont have anything against to be second wife. I will Inshallah be equal to both in everything. As the prophet SAW sed, merry them for their religion, family, money and beauty. I'am looking mostely for religion ... If you have one or more of what the prophet recomend, please get in touch.
JazAllah kher JazAllah kher"
And finally here is a photo of Taimour Abdulwahab while in Jordan last summer:
Demonized hideousness marches on genocidally expanding with Shrillery, Othuga et al aiding, abetting and cheering such on.
Swedish police have figured out that it might, just might, be jihad terrorism:

A gift for the nonbelievers,,,just in time for Christmas. One must appreciate the sensitivity and caring nature of the mooslims. They are giving us Christmas gifts (albeit, explosive ones) and helping us leave this torturous life. Their charity toward us is amazing.
The Swedes need to channel their inner Viking Berserker...
Thanks for the update. My statement was one of conjecture not fact. This clears things up.
Was there a Walmart nearby?
About the same as Canada and the US.
Which one is Cananda?
“Norway, Sweden what the hell is the difference?”
Big difference to many Norwegians.
Norway was occupied during WWII,Sweden was neutral.
And do you know why? Because our sons and daughters took the fight to them after 9/11 and decimated their leadership over the years. I also give major credit to covert operatives, whether FBI, CIA, NSA, and the rest.
We all get caught up in the obscene political climate and forget that best are out their fighting and dying and being maimed (which most forget).
It frustrates me that the MSM and the general public so rarely give credit for the those people who give all and have stopped numerous attempts by jihadists.
You think it's luck that Osama & Co. haven't hit us again and maybe harder? It's because we are spending our blood and fortune on stopping those muslim swine from hitting you and your family in the local mall, transportation, energy sources, water systems, food supply, et al. Thank your Military and clandestine services for you having a safe Christmas.
